Results from Annual Meeting

Posted by Florian Brunner on 05/29/2020

On May, 9th, our Virtual Annual Meeting 2020 took place. We would like to thank 13 members for participating in our Annual Meeting and for shaping together our #flywoh future! The following topics and decisions have been major part of our Annual Meeting:

REORGANISTION AND NEW APPOINTMENTS

Our Board of Directors has been part of our Leadship structure for more than 10 years. To ensure more efficiency and to split duties between Executive and Supervisory tasks, the Board of Directors (BOD) has been replaced by two Boards which work togehter closely: The Supervisory Council is overseeing the duties of the Executives and will be involved in all major decisions. The Executive Board on the other hand is responsible for daily operations and will manage #flywoh.

The Executive Board consists of the following five members, who have been appointed on the Annual Meeting. They virtually meet on a monthly base:

Florian Brunner (Chief Executive Officer)

Florian den Hollander (Chief Operating Officer, Vice CEO)

Ulf Tonne (Chief People Officer)

Nils Baetge (Chief Finance Officer)

Christian Henn (Chief IT Officer)

The Supervisory Council meets fourtimes a year and consists of the following members, which have been appointed on the Annual Meeting:

Pino Stehle (Chairman/President; Shareholder Representative)

Rocky Sticher (Shareholder Representative)

Raphael Moll (Staff Representative)

Olaf Wiesering (Staff Representative)

plus CEO, Vice CEO and a rotating member from the Executive Board

We thank our Executive Board and Supervisory Council members for their commitment and wish them all the best for their roles!

NEW MARKETS

We also used the Annual Meeting to discuss our future and the entry in future markets. The result has been, that most of the participants opted for a market entry into the Australian market. We will use the next 12 months to develop a concept for market entry into Australia and will keep you update. We are really looking forward to take another virtual airline into the skies.

FLEET ADAPTIONS

Another discussion was about unification of our charterair fleet, which consists currently of different aircrafts from Airbus and Boeing. Goal was to unify the fleet on the short/medium and longhaul to one aircraft type in order to save costs and reduce complexity. Decision has been made to completely use B737s on the short/medium haul and 787s on the longhaul. We have placed orders for 30 B787-9 and will place an 737 order soon.

OUR VALUES

We have presented and discussed new core values for our virtual airline. Currently we are refining them and will publish them soon.

Once again, thanks to everybody who joined our Virtual Annual Meeting. The Annual Report with all details will be published within the next weeks.

Virtual Annual Meeting 2020

Posted by Florian Brunner on 04/21/2020

Dear members,

due to the current COVID-19 restrictions accross the world and our commitment to #stayathome, we deeply regret, that we have to move our Annual Meeting 2020 from Palma to Mallorca to an Virtual Annual Meeting.

But there are also benefits: Now everybody can easily join our Virtual Annual Meeting and participate in shaping our future! There are enough topics to discuss!
Even if we are not able to celebrate our 20th birthday in a special venue, we can make this year`s Annual Meeting the "most visited" one.

Happy Easter with new Longhaul

Despite all restrictions and curfews around the world we hope that you can celebrate Easter as good as possible and we wish you nice and relaxing holidays and Happy Easter!

We at #flywoh have a special surprise for you around Easter. We have fully uploaded the charterair longhaul schedule. That means, that beside the already available 13 Boeing B767-300ER which are based in Frankfurt and the three TXL based A330-200, we have added another 22 Airbus A330-200 (including seven A332 from the former TCX operations in UK) and five Airbus A340-300 to the charterair fleet, to offer Europe-wide longhaul operation for reasonable prices to exciting destinations round the world. Just jump to one of these bases and take-off with charterair:

Furthermore, our operation in Munich/Germany has now changed to Airbus A330-200. Four A332 are replacing the three B767-300ER, which will be switched to Frankfurt to strengthen the remaining B767 base there. In Munich, we have added additional flights, such as a third flight per week to Cape Town and Seattle, a second weekly flight to Havana and Mauritius and new weekly connections to Halifax and Windhuk.

#flywoh support #stayathome

Posted by Florian Brunner on 03/19/2020

Dear pilots!

For a long time, we have intentionally not commented on the development of the current COVID-19/Coronavirus crisis. We have believed, that offline and online media are dominating the daily news to such an extent, that our additional input is not necessary at all.

As this crisis spreads accross the world and some pilots have asked about our virtual operational response to that, the Board of Directors has internally discussed options on how to react and we have taken a decision. Daily public life is and will be restricted more and more and we do not know, how long this situation will last. In these times, we are happy to have a hobby, which can be engaged from home and without any physical social contact. While many other hobbys cannot be engaged in that way and as we fully support the #stayathome initiative in order to reduce the fast spread of the Coronavirus, we have decided to not follow our aspiration to reality in that particular case. This means, that all our flights will be offered without any operational limitations. Furthermore, from now own, your are earning double miles on every flight!

So follow us on taking over social responsibility - especially to the older ones and our fellow citizens with pre-existing condition - and stay at home for some time.

And if you have some time left - beside flying - then please consider to take over one of our exciting voluntary jobs, e.g. Web Developer, Event Manager or Communications Manager. Interested? Just email to info[at]fly-woh.com!

Take care to you and your family, stay healthy and always three greens!

Austrian Sky schedule released

Posted by Florian Brunner on 03/19/2020

We are delighted to announce, that the Austrian Sky schedules have now been completely released. Ten Q400 turboprobs, 22 Boeing 737-800, six Boeing B787-8 and six Boeing B777-200ER are flying from Vienna to exciting destinations all over the world. There are also offered some decentralized routes from Innsbruck, Linz and Klagenfurt to Frankfurt with Q400. Another highlight is a 5/7 flight from Vienna via Bangkok/Thailand to Melbourne/Australia. In Bangkok guests have the opportunity to switch to Skyways A380 flight from Frankfurt to Sydney with convenient transfer times. And there are so many other exciting routes to discover. Just transfer to Vienna and experience the Austrian way to fly. Have fun!

We are happy to announce that our A380 Freeware Package for P3D V4 and FSX is now available for download in our download section. There are textures for Arabian Sun and Skyways available. Have fun with flying our big birds!

#flywoh takes over virtual TCX

Posted by Florian Brunner on 12/15/2019

Today we are happy to announce that we have agreed on taking over virtual TCX operations in the UK. We will add 25 Airbus A321 and seven A330-200 to our fleet and have acquired the available virtual slots in London Gatwick and Manchester. Preparations to start operations in early spring are on track and we will keep you updated during the next weeks. The aircrafts will be integrated into our charterair brand but will be managed under an own virtual AOC - this is important to ensure independant operations from the UK after Brexit. There will be an interim livery for the next couple of years which shows elements of former virtual TCX and our charterair brand.

After some years of consolidation - due to more important issues like our new website - we are really excited to further grow our virtual business to the UK. We will enlarge our network with some new destinations which will be served out of Manchester and Gatwick and we hope to keep the spirit and legacy of TCX in the virtual skies.
